Is there a way to download individual mitochondrial sequences from NCBI without having to scrape from their webpages or to download thousands of other sequences alongside. Is there some programmatic way to access these fasta data, for example:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_012920.1?report=fasta
Thanks, but installing eutils as below failed with errors: "Is libxml2 installed?" (yes, it is...)
Glad you mentioned eutils though, as it led me to find this post, which showed me how to build the URL in the answer below.
